Rec’d of Mr John and Mr William Guy, overseer and churchwarden of the parish of Oving, in cash 2.18.0 in full as under on account of the expense I was at for the family of Roger Vallow, their parishioners:
| My own bill | 1.9.6 |
| Do. Mr Mercer’s | 0.10.0 |
| Do. Mr Stone’s | 0.18.6 |
I then received of them 19/-, which I am to pay the widow at one shilling each week. The money received for Mr Stone’s and Mr Mercer’s bills I am to pay them, I having not yet paid it. Sam Jenner dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a plain suet pudding.
After dinner I went down to Mrs Atkins’s to attend Mrs Brook’s funeral, where I distributed the following gloves:
| Men’s Looped Lamb: | |

Among the foregoing persons the following did not take any gloves; therefore I am indebted to them for a pair each: Joseph Durrant, John Watford Sr, John Watford Jr, Robert Hook, Ellen Pierce and myself. I furnished the funeral and attended the corpse to the interment and came home about 4:30.
